Traveling through illness and cyberspace with great companions.

The real voyage of discovery consist not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

Illness

was not the road

I had planned to take

But I have been granted

an exploration

of some beautiful

new landscapes

Corina Duyn - Into the Light

That is a quote from my most recent book, a book-in-a-box called Into the LightIt is one of the last pages, in which I had to acknowledge that although illness was certainly not the 'plan' in my life, it brought me to some amazing times too.I learned to embrace my writing. That I do have a voice and even have something to share.I came to understand that creativity can come, and probably should come from a very deep place. A place I would not have visited if it was not because of this very long adventure through illness. And Stillness.I fought. I rebelled. Against life. And my body.I conceded that we have to work together in order to live the best life we can.We came to the understanding that a LOT can be achieved in very, very short spells of time.The Twenty MinuteRule came into being. (Will write separate post about this soon... watch this space).

The New Landscapes are also how I can now really see the world around me. To explore nature which much more attention. To be part of it.To truly value the friendships in my life. To savour the written word.To enjoy art.To be able to share.To being grateful for so many little things.

One of the very recently explored territories is that one called social media in cyber space. Although I enjoyed writing my blog for years, my words and images were floating around cyberspace rather leisurely ... Now, with the support from from very strong ladies, and some men too, I have my words land in places where people actually get to read them.
